1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundA. muciniphila (AKK) has attracted extensive research interest as a potential next-generation probiotics, but its role in intestinal pathology is remains unclear. Herein, this study was conducted to investigate the effects of A. muciniphila DSM 22,959 on growth performance, intestinal barrier function, microecology and inflammatory response of weaned piglets stimulated by dextran sulfate sodium salt (DSS).

methodTwenty-four Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire (DLY) weaned piglets used for a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments were divided into four groups with six piglets in each group. From 1 to 15 d, the CA and DA groups were orally fed with 1.0 × 10

resultsPresence of A. muciniphila in DSS-challenged weaned pigs resulted in numerically increased diarrhea rate, blood neutrophilic granulocyte, serum C-reactive protein and immunoglobulin M levels, and numerically reduced final weight, average daily feed intake and average daily gain. The decrease in intestinal villus height, villous height: crypt depth ratio and digestibility was accompanied by lower expression of ZO1, ZO2, Claudin1, DMT1, CAT1, SGLT1 and PBD114 genes, as well as decreased enzyme activities of intestinal alkaline phosphatase, lactase, sucrase and maltase of piglets in DA group compared to piglets in DCON group. The abundance of Bifdobacterium, Lactobacillus, A. muciniphila, Ruminococcus gnavus was numerically higher in digesta of pigs in DA group than those in DCON group. The inflammatory responses of piglets were dramatically changed by the simultaneous presence of A. muciniphila and DSS: expression level of IL17A, IL17F, IL23, RORγt, Stat3 was elevated in DA pigs compared to the other pig groups.

conclusionsOur result showed that the oral A. muciniphila aggravates DSS-induced health damage of weaned piglet, which may attribute to the deteriorating intestinal morphology, dysbiosis of microbiota and inflammatory response disorders.
